Child of Babylon Lyrics

Artist: Whitesnake
Album: Come An' Get It

(Coverdale/Marsden)

When I heard the sound of thunderOn the day that I was born,I was blinded by the lightingAn' baptised in the stormMy father started cryingWhen he saw what he had done,But, my mother started prayingHave mercy on my son,He is a child of Babylon

I am a child of Babylon,Lord have mercy on a wayward sonNowhere to hide, nowhere to runI am a child,A child of Babylon

When I've fooled around so many timesWhen I've known it ain't been right,But, I paint it all in coloursWhen it really should be black and whiteI sail my ship through muddy waters,Try to open every door,When I saw the seven wondersIt left me wanting more

I am a child of Babylon,Lord have mercy on a wayward sonNowhere to hide, got no place to runI am a child,A child of Babylon

On my day of judgementI know how it will be,I'm prepared to meet my makerWith no hope for charityI'll stand alone and pay the priceFor everything I've done,'Cos there ain't guardian angelFor a child of Babylon

I am a child,A child of BabylonI am a child of Babylon,Lord have mercy on a wayward sonNowhere to hide, got no place to runI am a child,A child of Babylon
